Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour!'
-- Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill
Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon
-- Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield
[In response to a taunt by Daniel O'Connell]
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
-- George Bernard Shaw
[in "Mrs. Warren's Profession"]

I'm sure that the chattering classes will have a good time mocking Kid Rock's suggestion that he might challenge professional politician Debbie Stabenow for her Senate seat. He has a tough battle to fight, especially because she is such an intellect.
Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.

Shockingly, Robert James Ritchie doesn't sound anything like an idiot. In fact, he seems to be quite an appealing man with at least one solid idea and has a comfortable presence in front of the camera.

I don't like cats, but for some reason they like me. That speaks volumes about the whole species. Anyway, Here are some cute cat pictures. Or Helen Thomas nudes. I forget which.

papp van winkle.jpg

This was sent to me by a lurker who shall remain nameless, but whose work will appear in the soon-to-be-famous AoSHQ Cookbook, if weasel and bluebell put down the Pappy van Winkle for a few days and do some work.

“I searched for an alternative [to Pappy], and that led me to Bourbonr, which gave me a recipe for combining W.L. Weller 12 Year and Old Weller Antique 107 Proof," says Fredrickson. “It’s all Buffalo Trace; the only Stitzel-Weller product still in the Van Winkle line is the 23.”

In addition to its own line, Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Ky., now produces Old Rip Van Winkle whiskey, as well as W.L. Weller, Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, Sazerac and many more.

“Basically, [Van Winkle and Weller] have the same mash bills and are aged for almost the same time,” he says.

To make his Poor Man’s Pappy, Fredrickson combines 40 percent by weight W.L. Weller 12 Year and 60 percent by weight Old Weller Antique 107 Proof in a 750-milliliter bottle, seals it and tries to forget about it for as long as possible (two months at minimum) to allow the spirits to integrate fully. His current batch is more than a year old. The aim was to approximate Old Rip Van Winkle 10 or 12 Year Lot B, but as Fredrickson discovered during a recent blind tasting at Delmonico Steakhouse, his Poor Man’s Pappy falls somewhere between the 12 and 15 Year in taste, body, heat and overall heft—so much the better for his personal enjoyment.

Yeah....vaccines. It's pretty much the pinnacle of human achievement. And if you disagree, you have to admit that it is near the top. So whenever you go to an after-yoga pot-luck and somebody notices that you brought a dish that has GMO ingredients or that your kids are all alive and well or you don't have polio or rabies and you didn't die after that nasty cut you got while camping or didn't die of Whooping Cough when you were six and haven't gotten the flu in forever and on and on and on....tell them to fvck off. Because their ignorance and stone-aged idiocy of not getting their kids vaccinated is going to kill lots and lots of innocent people.

Oh, before I climb down from this high horse...flu vaccine does not give you the flu. It's dead virus. it can't give you the flu. It's impossible. If you feel crappy after you get the vaccine, then it's probably a side effect of antibody production. And if you get the flu, it's because you got the vaccine too late and were exposed to the live virus before your body was able to produce enough antibodies to protect you. Or, they didn't get the correct strains of influenza in the vaccine, and you were unlucky and exposed to a strain that wasn't in the vaccine.

******

Here's a weird cover. Conan O'Brian should shut the fvck up and let Grace Potter sing, but still, the band is fun. And unexpected.

******

And we might as well continue in that direction, with another rather attractive singer with a pretty good voice. Susanna Hoffs is not unpleasant to look at, even with the terrible video quality from 1991.

******

On the other hand John Stossel is definitely not my type, but he makes up for it by being pretty bright and making some good points about the Leviathan.

******

If this ONT hasn't put you to sleep yet, try this video of a rock singer reading "Goodnight Moon."

17 The Mooch is gone within the week, as I said on an earlier thread to the derision of other posters.

The new head of WH communications burned himself by going on record with Lizza at The New Yorker, of all places, with his personal vendetta with Priebus and Bannon.

Don't forget that he made a false accusation that his financials were leaked.

Like I said, Mooch is a self-aggrandizing prick which is why the rest of the inner Trump circle didn't want him in.

26 CDB.....cats like you because you know cat manners. Even though you don't know it.

Cats aren't dogs. They don't like to be fussed over or even noticed.

You're not keen on them, so you ignore them.

That tells the cat "Oh, this guy gets cats. He's ignoring me. That means he wants to be friends." That's when they walk over and try to befriend you.

48 Baby Sister Update

Joyce spent yesterday (Wednesday) with her good friend Roni:

"Joyce and I had a relaxing day inside my house today: manicure, healthy lunch, playing games ( she did great with a rummy tile game ), watching Grace and Frankie on TV. Joyce is back to being Joyce! I have so much fun spending time with her.

Her balance and strength are continuing to improve and she walked pretty easily from the car into my house , and even up some steps. When Hubby helped her out of the car at the other end she kept telling him , "I can do that myself!" Jessie is planning a full day of yard work with Joyce tomorrow. All time with friends, is time well spent."

Thanks, Roni!

[To my fellow Hordelings, thank you all in advance for your prayers and well-wishes for my sister and our family.]

84 like you because you know cat manners. Even though you don't know it.

Cats aren't dogs. They don't like to be fussed over or even noticed.

You're not keen on them, so you ignore them.

That tells the cat "Oh, this guy gets cats. He's ignoring me. That means he wants to be friends." That's when they walk over and try to befriend you.

91 Oh, before I climb down from this high horse...flu vaccine does not give you the flu. It's dead virus. it can't give you the flu. It's impossible. If you feel crappy after you get the vaccine, then it's probably a side effect of antibody production. And if you get the flu, it's because you got the vaccine too late and were exposed to the live virus before your body was able to produce enough antibodies to protect you. Or, they didn't get the correct strains of influenza in the vaccine, and you were unlucky and exposed to a strain that wasn't in the vaccine.


I'd be interested to know the mortality pre-and post flu vaccine though. Basically is it truly helpful for the general population to be getting it. I understand the need for medical staff needing it or at least wanting it available to them.

177 "Is there no one on this site that listens to Susan Tedeshi?"

The new Bonnie Raitt. I'm an Allman Brothers fan which is how I got to know her.

For those who don't know, she's married to Derek Trucks and they tour together as the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Derek's uncle was the drummer in the Allmans since the beginning. Derek has played guitar for the Allmans for many years, and, together with Warren Haynes, led the Allmans come back

Ha ha! I was in the midst of a discussion about the very same thing. A friend of ours has a few acres of 'garden', and has caught numerous raccoons and let them loose three or four miles away on the local golf course (lol). He was wondering of they returned.

We talked about spray painting their tails orange.

He said the woodchucks he catches 'don't make it'.
We still have no clue if they actually come back.

I don't think the Awan brothers killed Seth Rich. IIRC, it was supposedly done by someone in a union in DC.

However, there is a very good chance the Awan brothers know EXACTLY who did.

Like I said, I am an excellent baker and cook, so I have pretty good instincts when cooking, but baking is much less forgiving. Add to that the condos not really coming equipped with KitchenAid mixers...I will have to come up with something else.

273 My general theory on the Awan stuff is that the Dems were running a massive money laundering operation, bringing in foreign bribes and selling access and then distributing the cash to Dem politicians, staffers, and activists. They hired an IT firm full of sketchy Pakistanis because they knew the latter wouldn't tell anyone or ask too many questions about the emails that discussed illegal activity. The problem is that the Pakistanis got greedy, and then got caught.

280 My brother has a hippy-dippy wife and he's gone all anti-vaccine. But -- fun twist! -- it's because they're Catholic (he converted) and the research and cultivation for MMR and some of the hepatitis vaccines was done using a cell strain from a fetus aborted in 1962. The Catholic Church says to vaccinate and it's an acceptable thing, but they're super holy and won't do it.

She's currently pregnant with their second and they have an 18 month old. They refuse to believe me when I try to tell them that the fact that she was vaccinated as a child offers zero protection to their baby.

I was never a fan of "his" music, but we'll see what he has to say in his new endeavor, if he intends to seriously go in that direction.

On GMOs: I love the sudden concern over GMOs. Because for people who actually study history, every damned morsel you put in your mouth is a GMO. Those who say their food is "Non-GMO" are either lying or ignorant of the development of agriculture since the dawn of the agricultural age. Those who are terrified of GMOs would be even more terrified of history, if they bother to look. (But then, of late - now ever more than ever - people turn idiotic over food: suddenly EVERYTHING MUST BE LOCALLY GROWN, non-GMO, "clean", "sustainable", and other such foolishness.)

361 Wouldn't say I liked MREs, but the jambalaya one was not bad. Didn't have them regularly. Of course they were/are a magical advance over rations in previous eras.

Somewhere, a few years ago, linked from another (more obscure) smart military blog, there was a very interesting presentation of MRE-equivalents (field ration kits) from all many of the world's military services.

The Japanese pilots who attacked Pearl Harbor were given bento box lunches by the galleys on the carriers. Rice balls, salted plums, something else I forget - and amphetamines.

So I don't know anything, really, about what's going on with all that, and the new guy. But the new guy is saying some pretty stupid things, whatever the situation is. If you have power (the boss's ear, in this case), you don't need or want to be mouthing off the way he is, on the record.

Kind of funny. Trump has not really delivered on any of the horror story fears of the fainting sorts who feared he would be crass and wild in office. But this new guy is filling that "gap" at the moment. WTF?

442 Grump's probably gone, and someone probably already pointed this out, but the epidemiology chart was morbidity, not mortality.

Couple of years ago I went into one of those CVS mini-clinics for something (bad splinter? can't recall). Nurse was older, smart, funny. She asked about my vaccination status. It was pretty good, but she recommended an early booster of the DT with a PDT, given "the situation".

She seemed OK, so I eschewed the standard discretion - asking whether the public health bulletins she surely reads actually identified the reason for the return of pertussis (illegal migration, esp. in this area). Can't recall her answer, but we had a good talk about the politicization of public health on that topic. She was furious about it, so was I, so we joked and wallowed in our impotent anger.

461 "What Happened" by Hillary Rodham Clinton

It was a dark and stormy-3 a.m. phone call from Libya-kind of night. Or would be, if I took 3 a.m. phone calls from Libya. The tension in the room was as thick as the bulge in Sandy Berger's underwear at the National Archives. The temperature inside the Russian Embassy reception was a blistering 70 degrees and I was beginning to feel faint, when suddenly, our eyes met from across the crowded room. Or would have, if I hadn't been wearing my coke-bottle Frensel Prism lenses to stop the double vision.

It was him; the Macedonian cyber-criminal mastermind Gucifer. The man who had cunningly tricked Podesta into setting his password as "password". The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Or would have, if I weren't heavily sedated by the Diazepam/vodka cocktail I'd just swallowed in the bathroom.

I knew why the Macedonian was there; he had been sent by Putin, Cambridge Analytica, Netflix, Croatian content farms and rural voters--but mostly by Putin. I knew what Gucifer wanted by the look in his eye and the list of demands. But I could have told him it was Mission: Impossible. And would have, if the Paxil, gin and L-dopa smoothie I guzzled in the van weren't making me slur my words.

Putin sent Gucifer to get his money back. Bill only gave a 12-minute speech in Moscow for the half-million, but Putin wanted the full hour of Bill's wise counsel and sage advice.

Here's some advice, Vladimir: We're the Clintons; We Never Give the Money Back.

Anyway, Gucifer is in prison now. Ya' know, it's funny; every time Bill or I get in trouble, it's always somebody else who ends up in jail or face-down, bleeding out on a D.C. sidewalk at 4 in the morning. I guess we're just lucky that way.

And to all those who think I should step aside, I've got news for them; I'm going to persist in leading the Resistance and keep my hand in the game. After all, America still has 80% of it's Uranium $upplies!"

Just because you mentioned asteroids, i was reading the other day about an asteroid a while ago identified in a solar orbit that was wobbling around one of the closer Langrange points (L1 or L2, whatever), and they slapped on some temporary designation and said, you know, "Well, it's about yay big, and it's high in concentration of Titanium Dioxide based on spectroscopy, and it's in this sort of orbit..."

TiO2 being a major component in many white paints.

You know, like they would use on a booster stage.

Of a Saturn Rocket.

To launch stuff into space.

Yup. That was no asteroid. Just a chunk of the Apollo 12 mission (or whatever number it was) that didn't get flung far enough away when we were done with it.

I love stories like that.

504 Good to hear the Joyce update, IB Guy.

As for Shaw, he was a weird-o. Referred to non-vegetarians as grave markers for animals and wrote, "Property is theft."

My favorite of his was "A 100% American is 99% idiot." He didn't like us or understand us.

If you want to read something interesting and quotable, try G.K. Chesterton's What I Saw in America. He was struck by home-ownership and political participation. He's also the only writer who actually seemed to understand Americanization as the "nationalisation of the internationalised" which nowhere else in the world did.

Weather is no issue here, so basically some water and food, and batteries/lights is about it.

Have mentioned before that when the hurricane was heading for NYC we had some spare time so I went across the street to check if there was anything I missed. One guy was buying 6 two liter bottles of diet pepsi. Some girl had a basket with a few containers of berries, which she was eating as she waited in the hour long line to get to the counter. Bunch of girls were in line talking to their friend on the phone telling her she should come over to their apartment because they had bought a wii so they could play during the hurricane.

I don't know if you need to worry too much about viruses in drinking water. Most viral transmission through fluid needs to be relatively quick I think. Let a virus swim around in fresh, pH neutral water for a few minutes, and it'll start to denature on its own. And if it doesn't, it's probably not pathogenic to humans anyway.

I think it goes something like that, at least.

524 Location in the desert sort of takes water filters out of the picture. The issue is water, period. Assuming failure of power, thus failure of water pressure, there just won't be any. Backflow/contamination issues that occur with failing or struggling/restarting municipal water systems can be addressed by a capful of chlorine bleach and a few hours of time. If you can get the water to start with.
So I've a few extra bottles of bleach that are only for that contingency.

He lived through times when anarchists and progressives were trying to move the culture, so I think he'd recognize the antifa for what they are. Also, he had a great explanation of Progressives taking for granted that everything goes right by accident, like today's Left assume that they can upend cultural norms, punish "capitalists", and force conservative people to stop participating in society and somehow it won't have any negative impact later.

That vaccine chart makes no sense. The number of annual deaths in the US is only 2.5 million now and was less than 1.5 million in 1935. Considering that the population was so much less before I have to imagine that the annual death number was that much lower.

Those number in that chart seem pretty fucked up. And what the hell is that 4 million number at the bottom. There were never close to 4 million deaths in the US in any year. NEVER.

Absolutely.

Vaccines are great ... but they aren't free of any cost. Getting vaccines for the major, most threatening diseases is good and important but many, these days, seem to have the notion that vaccines are totally careless, free tools that can be used willy-nilly for any little bug. Overvaccinating is likely dangerous to people and society. Everything has a cost and must be used judiciously but there are so many who think that this fact about everything in life just doesn't apply to vaccines.

No, drain backup from the roof. Flat roofs can be cheaper to build, but always to operate.

We had a hailstorm move through, and drop a bunch of ice on the roof, which clogged the drains and gutters. Then it rained and the water collected until it got over the top of a roof vent. You can figure out the rest.

My doc is a terrible trans hater. I was up there today for my testosterone shot, and he always has to make some crack about me being low-T, and what a little sissy I am compared to his clinically demonstrated level of manliness.

Today is crack was that I could no longer join the Army. And he did it right in front of a new lady doc that is joining his practice.

She said to him, "You're terrible!". I thanked her and told her that, watch out, you don't know me. When you do, you'll find out I'm more terrible than he is, and you'll see he just does that in self defense.

612 While I was in the .mil went through several MRE menu changes, additions and deletions. I've tried a lot of the newer menus since that time. They've really put some effort into providing variety. Always liked the cheese spread. They didn't shitcan that. But the "koolaid", they cheaped out on that. The coffee went weak, and removed entirely from some meals. Jeezus. The Beef Stew used to be pretty good. They've switched from actual stew meat (or chicken, pork etc) to those artificial, chunked and formed scrap bit ersatz. So while the variety is phenomenal, the quality is a little iffy on some of them. Some of the desserts are outstanding. A+ for effort and attention to detail, B- for ingredient quality.

They have all kinds made today, cold weather rations, hot weather rations, disaster rations, snack rations. They even had some kind of bread when I was in. Sort of like those cute little loaves they'd sell at the county fair? Not to be confused with the MRE bread that replaced the crackers. Blech.

Some of the pilots I worked with used to fly Ranger candidates in one of their phases, it was only a short 2 minute flight.

You're in for quite a treat.

I would have been about the age of the kid riding the wheelie, in the opening sequence. Save for the fact that I won a trophy for doing the same, for so doing in the distance of well past 1/2 mile.

But before I graduated HS, I also raced in a couple of AMA sanctioned events. I sukked, but I raced.

I do have Castrol two stroke oil in my veins, even with well over 300k Gold Wing miles in the logbooks.

Speaking of the Castrol. Two stroke engine driven, blade running grass edger. Brought back memories today, it did.

660 I used to backpack quite a lot. Freeze dried is... expensive, and they have to remove most of the fat (calories) to make it work. Some of it's so-so, but it all sort of tastes the same.


Posted by: Common Tater at July 28, 2017 01:31 AM

Yeah, it was bland at best. Often weird tasting. The fat and whatnot would be lost? That might account for the dodgy taste. They were pushed as rations for awhile for going out for days and stuff on patrols as they were light. The nco's used to enforce (well, try to) a lightweight approach and make everyone ditch anything but the essentials... extra ammo, extra water instead of luxuries like food, shelter and stuff but whatever was light and you could stick in your pockets, like ciggies, coffee and those biscuit things were good to go. Some crat stuff could be carried to be shared by the squad, but not many. Trouble is those dehydrated rats really ate up your water, so there was little point.

664 654. Knew red army vets of the GPW. Field rations - usually, they had 'food' cooked daily for the boys. Bread, soup, kasha, sometimes beans, and meat or tushonka. The diet was crappy - hell, a soldier of the Czar ate better - but they had vodka and amphetamines, so they made it work for them.

Chess is believed to have Indian roots. It would have gotten to us through the Persians, and maybe not until after Muslim conquests, but they didn't invent it. The word origin for Chess though is either Persian or Arabic. Its been a while since I listened to that episode of the History of English Podcast.

669 You raced desert?! What club?

Posted by: bebe's boobs destroy at July 28, 2017 01:39 AM (hscyr)



I never got to race desert courses, though that was my soul.

Rode two AMA events. One motocross, as "Amateur" on a Yamaha 125 cc "Tin Can" framed, stripped down bike. Made two laps, then DNF'd due to bike's tank having not been having been duly secured by rubber strap.

Second, was riding "in stead" of "registered" rider, at Riverside, aboard a Yamaha RD-350, in a road race event. Yes, I had my AMA "amateur
card. No, it didn't give me a damn bit of good.

Didn't even finish the first lap, with a DNF due to throwing a chain from a worn front sprocket.

At least, I tried.

I do have Castrol two stroke oil in my veins, even with well over 300k Gold Wing miles in the logbooks.

Speaking of the Castrol. Two stroke engine driven, blade running grass edger. Brought back memories today, it did.

I raced motocross during my last 2 years of high school. Then I got my license and it was on to muscle cars. That was some fun shit. I do have a mid 70's Honda 250 elsinore kicking around I picked up a few years back. Its way more primitive than what I rode, but I thought it was cool from a historical point of view. That was the era where things started to take off in the dirt bike world. Motocross bikes started evolving fast after that.

This came up on one of the last chess threads when we were discussing the oddness of the rooks (stone structures that can't move in real life, as compared to all the other pieces that are persons). The origin of rooks was thought to have been chariots as pieces in the initial Indian version, if I'm remembering correctly.

What were the dehydrated ration thingies that showed up around late 60's 70's?? that were supposed to replace c-rations. I don't think they did and were pretty horrible. Plus they used too much of your valuable water. They were lighter than c-rats though. Dunno if they got a designation or went beyond trials, can't remember.

The origin of rooks was thought to have been chariots as pieces in the initial Indian version, if I'm remembering correctly.

I always thought they represented siege towers. Those were a somewhat less common piece of medieval warfare, but a good siegebreaker. You build an armored wooden tower on a rolling platform as high as the castle you're trying to take and roll it up to the wall. Your troops can then climb the tower onto the walls, and once they've secured the walls, get into the courtyard and open the gates for the rest of your army.

Bleach will lose potentency over time. Get some calcium hypochlorite (aka pool shock). Less bulky, stores indefinitely, and you can make your own bleach solution for water purification. You just have to get the right type. There's some info and a chart on my blog about it in one of the first posts (which was originally written to be an inaugural prepper post here).

779 The t-rat survived for while in some field kitchens with a hot water driven steamer rack thing. They would pump hot water in, then after a few minutes, open the door and hand you these damn hot trays to stumble off and eat. I saw them on FTXs in the late 80s/early 90s.

They sucked. Every single meal I ever pulled was some variation on chicken and gravy.

I just put a satellite ground station in to Burma, got to eat some of their army rations - nice. Didn't get sick +1, spicy is nicey, and easy to prep. At the squad level (sort of) they have what I would call a Kelly kettle, but slightly different to boil water. The guys get two nested cups, sort of like the uk crusader cups. Tea goes in one cup, rice and curry bag in the other. Hot water in both. The curry bag heats in the cup while the rice rehydrates/cooks.

No TP though. They had some sweets in a separate pouch, no go for me.

793 Replying to several earlier comments, chess is believed to have originated in India around 500 AD. It was originally called chaturanga, and later the Persians called it shatranj.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaturanga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatranj

The word "checkmate" came from the Persian "shah mat", meaning "the king is dead".

In chaturanga, the rook was a chariot and the bishop was an elephant. So it was literally a war game, featuring all the elements of an army at the time: infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots.

Chaturanga moved east, too, and there are variants played in Burma, Thailand, and China which are clearly related to chess, but are different from the modern European game.

The chariots moved like the modern rook, and were the most powerful pieces on the board. They were the only pieces that could move long distances in one fell swoop. Today the bishops and queens can also move long distances, but those were recent European innovations, dating from the 1400s or so. Their older counterparts were much more restricted.

Since Islam forbade depictions of living creatures, shatranj pieces had abstract stylized shapes. I don't know why the rook came to be a castle tower, but I suppose that was also a European invention.

797 In modern chess, the king, knight, and rook move exactly the same as their ancient counterparts.

In the early forms of chess, the piece now known as the queen was variously translated as "counselor" or "general". It could move only one square diagonally in any direction.

Sometime in Europe in the 1400s, it gained the ability to move any number of squares in any direction, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. That was a radical innovation that completely changed the game, and led to chess as we know it today.

It was like the designated hitter rule in baseball, if the DH was a nuclear-powered robot.

Using procedural manuvering that was never really passed by the House, and at the midnight hour. Never had a better than a 46% approval from the public. Just like a dictatorship.

821 Can someone just go ahead and declares McCain incompetent? He did just have brain surgery.

822 514 Sorry, been in and out. Speaking of survival gear, has anyone mentioned water filters? They will get rid of most parasites and bacteria, but viruses? Not too sure on that, but boiling isn't that sure for viruses, either. And filters can be reusable.

I have a Katadyn Hiker Pro that I use for backpacking, with the added benefit of having it on hand in case the SHTF. For "bugging-in", a Big Berkey is a great option.

Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at July 28, 2017 05:02 AM (ul9CR)

823 A water filter is a good idea, but for SHTF prep around the home, a few flats of bottled water would be useful, too. You can pack a few water bottles with you if you have to make a foray out into the wild. You have trade goods. It's cheap to buy, too.

To get really out there, stacked pallets of bottled water would make decent radiation shielding, too.

Time for tar and feathers in that case.

Thankfully not forever. It can't go on forever, because the system is crashing and burning. Nothing can save it.

From experience, and I guess it depends upon the brand, sealed water bottles evaporate over time, lose quite a bit of their contents. Stacking them could be asking for a waterslide of Biblical proportions.

828 Speaking of radiation, it occurs to me there may be a substantial secondary threat from Chernobyl. The exclusion zone around the failed reactor is rapidly becoming overgrown with forest, and many of those trees are radioactive. What happens if this un-logged forest becomes dry, and starts to burn in a massive forest fire? Will there be a release of volatile radioisotopes?

1st news this morning, Obamacare is still here, and oh yes, premiums will be 20% higher.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech Wednesday urging Muslims with higher educations to remain in Muslim countries to keep their earning potential and scientific achievements in the Muslim world, a message that appears at odds with his claim that Muslims are "Europe's future."

Up to 80, huh?

Tall order.

Maybe 75.

837 So I see that my option for insurance in 2018 is the 1 policy available to me in OH. I'm guessing it will come with a 20% price increase and a $15,000 deductible.

855 The GOPe is delirious with joy that they have McCain to be the face of their rat-bastardy because he has cancer and is going to die soon.

And McCain is okay with it, as long as some prog, somewhere, is worshiping his name, even if only for a second.

I want the entire Senate on regular Obamacare. NOW.

Fuck your Cadillac plan.

859 "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."
-- George Bernard Shaw
[in "Mrs. Warren's Profession"]

That sentiment seems incompatible with Shaw's socialism. Did he put those words in the mouth of a character the reader is supposed to disagree with? (I've never read that particular play.)
